Does anyone run a thicker viscosity oil in their gen during triple digit camping temps? That "may" help the long constant run times under heavy load.
Sure, but always stay in the class and weight range the owners manual chart details.
Absolutely, but more often than not, most people treat their generator like a rented mule. Run it hard, long, and never bother making sure the oil is the right viscosity.....or rarely ever changed. I've seen gen's running in situations where I'm shocked its even supplying electricity its so hot out.
